INS & OUTS
It was a defensive clinic all evening, as neither team scored more than three goals in a single quarter. UIndy put a 3-spot up on the scoreboard in the first and fourth periods, with Olivia Bladon and Sage Da Silva each netting a goal in both frames.
 
Bladon started the night's scoring less than three minutes into the game, a lead the Hounds would not surrender, although they never led by more than two until the final two minutes of action.
 
Freshman Kendall Conrad found the back of the cage for back-to-back UIndy goals, while also assisting on the Greyhound's final score. Conrad entered Friday with just two points in the early going, more than doubling her total against the Chargers.
 
Graham was not the only Greyhound holding the back line strong, with reigning GLVC Freshman of the Year Amanda Hurry finishing with four caused turnovers and four scoops. Hollis Rang also picked up four ground balls, while Ella Fornek recorded three.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Speaking of Fornek, the junior tallied a pair of points in the win with a goal and an assist.
- The Greyhounds were credited with 10 caused turnovers, spreading the wealth among six different players.
- UIndy upped its season clear success rate to 96.6 percent following a 20-for-21 effort on Friday; meanwhile on the ride, the Hounds held the Chargers to a 68.1 percent clip and have forced a turnover on more than 28 percent of their opponent's clear attempts this season.
- Four Greyhounds dished out an assist, including Emily Ghazal and Alexa Versaci.
- Graham made at least two saves each quarter, including three in the opening frame.
